Stylish One-Bedroom Apartment with South-Facing Balcony and Panoramic Views in Amsterdam
Key Features
Description
This well-presented one-bedroom apartment is situated on the seventh floor of a residential building constructed in 1967, offering approximately 33 square meters of living space in the Buitenveldert-Zuidoost district of Amsterdam. The property enjoys a prime location that combines residential tranquility with excellent accessibility to the city's major amenities and transportation hubs.
Upon entering the apartment, residents are welcomed into a bright and airy living space that serves as the heart of the home. The living room is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dining zone, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining guests. Large windows characteristic of the seventh-floor positioning flood the space with natural daylight throughout the day, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
One of the standout features of this apartment is the balcony, which measures approximately 2.7 square meters and faces south. This outdoor space provides residents with a private sanctuary where they can enjoy the sun throughout the day, along with sweeping unobstructed views over the surrounding neighborhood. The southern orientation ensures maximum sunlight exposure, making it a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The open kitchen is practically designed with functionality in mind. It features ample work surface and storage space, a composite countertop, and is equipped with essential appliances including a refrigerator, combination oven-microwave, and dishwasher. The kitchen layout allows for seamless interaction with the living and dining areas, creating an open and social atmosphere.
The bedroom is located on the quiet rear side of the apartment, offering a peaceful retreat away from the street noise. It comfortably accommodates a double bed and provides sufficient space for wardrobe and additional storage solutions. The bedroom's positioning ensures restful nights thanks to the reduced noise levels from the back of the building.
The bathroom has been fitted with modern sanitary ware and features a shower, toilet, and washbasin. The bathroom maintains the contemporary aesthetic established throughout the rest of the apartment and serves the practical needs of daily routines efficiently.
Storage solutions in this property include a spacious external storage unit located in the basement of the building. This approximately 4-square-meter space is particularly useful for storing bicycles, seasonal items, and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
The building offers several communal facilities and conveniences. A clean and well-maintained entrance lobby features a video intercom system and an electronically controlled access door, enhancing security for all residents. The presence of an elevator ensures easy access to the seventh floor, which is particularly beneficial when moving groceries or handling heavy items.
Energy performance is a strong suit of this property, which holds an A energy label. The apartment benefits from comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, HR glass, wall insulation, and floor insulation. These thermal improvements contribute to reduced energy consumption and lower utility costs. Heating is provided through a central block heating system, while hot water is supplied via an electric boiler.
The monthly VvE contribution is set at €84.23, which covers the maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and contributions to the reserve fund. An additional monthly advance payment of €50 is required for heating costs. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds regular annual meetings, and maintains an active maintenance schedule.
A significant financial advantage of this property is that the erfpacht has been purchased in perpetuity. This means the annual ground lease payments have been bought out indefinitely, eliminating this ongoing cost from the household budget and providing long-term financial certainty for the owner.
The surrounding neighborhood of Buitenveldert offers a balanced mix of residential comfort and urban conveniences. The area is characterized by ample green spaces, including the nearby Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark, which provides opportunities for outdoor recreation and relaxation. The Gijsbrecht van Aemstelpark itself offers extensive lawns, walking paths, and sporting facilities.
Daily shopping needs are well served by the Gelderlandplein shopping center, located within walking distance of the property. This retail hub offers a diverse range of stores, specialty shops, and restaurants, ensuring residents have easy access to all essential services and dining options.
For those with educational commitments, the area hosts several prestigious institutions. International schools including the British School and the American International School of Amsterdam are situated nearby. Higher education options include the Vrije Universiteit, which is within easy reach. This makes the location particularly attractive to academics, researchers, and families with international backgrounds.
Transportation connectivity is excellent from this location. The Amsterdam Zuid train station and Amsterdam RAI metro station are both easily reachable by bicycle. Multiple bus and tram stops are located within walking distance, providing direct connections to various parts of the city. By car, the A10 orbital motorway offers quick access to the A2 and A4 highways, and Schiphol Airport is reachable within approximately twenty minutes. This makes the property suitable for both commuters and frequent travelers.
The nearby Zuidas district, known as the Financial Mile, provides additional employment opportunities and amenities. The area continues to develop as a major business center, offering corporate offices, restaurants, and cultural venues.
For recreation and leisure, residents can explore the Amsterdamse Bos, one of the largest urban forests in Europe, located a short distance away. The Amstelpark is another nearby green oasis offering gardens, greenhouses, and seasonal events. These natural amenities contribute significantly to the quality of life in this area.
Parking in the vicinity is available through paid public parking and residential permits, providing flexibility for vehicle owners.
The property is offered in consultation with the seller and can be delivered relatively quickly. A non-occupier clause applies, which is standard for properties where the current owner does not reside in the premises.
In summary, this seventh-floor apartment presents an attractive option for first-time buyers, singles, or those seeking a convenient pied-à-terre in Amsterdam. The combination of modern finishes, excellent energy performance, south-facing balcony, perpetual erfpacht status, and the comprehensive amenities of the Buitenveldert-Zuidoost area creates a compelling proposition for discerning buyers seeking quality urban living.
